About

I’m a Staff Software Engineer with 13+ years of experience building C++/Linux infrastructure across security, storage, databases, and distributed systems. My work has spanned security and authentication at Okta, storage, backup, and virtualization at Arcserve, and database and distributed infrastructure at Oracle. Across these environments, I’ve focused on designing and building systems that are performant, reliable, scalable, and maintainable. I work primarily with Modern C++ and Linux, with growing experience in Rust. My technical focus includes system architecture, distributed systems, performance engineering, security, storage, and database infrastructure. I enjoy taking complex infrastructure problems, breaking them down into clear designs, and building solutions that remain reliable under real-world scale, concurrency, and failure conditions. Beyond individual systems, I’ve led technical initiatives across teams, worked through architectural trade-offs, contributed to design and technical decisions, and helped engineers align around robust solutions. I’m particularly interested in challenging systems and infrastructure problems at the intersection of performance, reliability, security, storage, and distributed systems.
